I getting weird errors with my new WD drive, some times it works just fine, but other times I hangs my system and takes forever to end the precess, uTorrent gives me that I/O error some times, I really don't know what to do, the drive is new and all my other 3 drives work just fine, I tried to run WD diagnoses and sometimes it would give me error on the smart or bad sectors and sometimes it wont.....One more thing is that I'm running 4 driver in the same Intel ICH7 Controller, I have no idea if matter how many drivers I have pluged...

Anyone has any idea?

check the drive for a jumper on the back, some wd drives shipped with jumpers in place for SATA I compatability, depending on the mode selected in the bios the presence or absence of this jumper can make a difference. Only a possibility, but I have seen this cause problems in the past.
